Can You Spot the Differences?

Question 1

1. Retesting vs. Regression Testing

Answer 1

• Retesting verifies that a fixed defect is resolved.
• Regression Testing ensures that unchanged features still work correctly.
• Retesting is manual, Regression Testing is mostly automated.

Question 2

Priority vs. Severity

Answer 2

• Priority indicates how urgent the bug fix is.
• Severity measures the impact on the application.
• Priority is dynamic, Severity is static.

Question 3

1. Static vs. Dynamic Testing

• Dynamic Testing is execution-based, running the program.

Question 4

Verification vs. Validation

Answer 4

-Verification checks if we are building the product correctly.
- Validation checks if we are building the right product.
-Verification is review-based, Validation involves actual testing.

Question 5

Functional vs. Non-Functional Testing

Answer 5

• Functional Testing tests what the system does (e.g., login, payments).
• Non-Functional Testing assesses how the system performs (e.g., speed, security).
• Functional testing is requirement-based, Non-functional testing is performance-based.

Question 7

Positive vs. Negative Testing

Answer 7

-Positive Testing examines valid inputs to ensure expected behavior.
- Negative Testing evaluates invalid inputs to test error handling.
